In November a
Gainesville, GA man found out that traveling with your colloidal silver
generator might be problematic -- particularly if
someone sees it, and mistakes it for a piece of “meth lab” equipment.

Here’s the story, along with a few
eye-opening tips that might help you avoid similar difficulties when traveling
with your colloidal silver-making equipment…

Apparently, on November 28, 2012, a hotel housekeeper at the
Paramount Plaza Hotel & Suites in Gainesville, GA entered a hotel room when
the guest wasn’t there, and found a "suspicious device" and a
"suspicious substance."

The police were called, and afterwards the Sheriff's bomb
squad and a Hazardous Materials team joined the investigation on the premise
that a dangerous "meth lab" may have been discovered in the hotel
room.

The entire hotel was evacuated as a precaution, as
authorities pursued their investigation.

Colloidal Silver the
Culprit

Then, two hours after the evacuation, the surprised hotel
guest returned to the hotel. He
apparently explained to authorities that the "suspicious substance" they’d
found in his room was a Big Gulp cup half full of colloidal silver!

Although the news article doesn’t specifically say so,
apparently the "suspicious device" found in the room was a colloidal
silver generator.

I don’t know who should be more embarrassed, the snoopy
hotel staff, the over-reactive police, the Sheriff’s bomb squad, the Hazardous
Materials squad, or the guy who apparently left his hotel room with his
colloidal silver generator running, not expecting any hotel staff to enter the
room.

According to a Gainesville Police Department spokesman, “We would much rather take all safety
precautions anytime a suspicious device is found to ensure safety than not do
enough.”

Well said. But
nevertheless somebody oughta be awfully darned embarrassed over this incident.

Crazy, Crazy World

Folks, we now live in a crazy, crazy world where you have to
be darned careful for just about everything, apparently including where you take your colloidal silver generator.

Frankly, this story did not surprise me in the least,
because I experienced a similar event not too long after the 9-11 terrorist
attacks on this country.

Indeed, shortly after 9-11 an investigator from the Office
of Naval Intelligence show up at the doorstep of my office asking why I’d just
purchased 200 wall timers from a local electrical supply house.

Apparently, with a few modifications, wall timers can be
used by terrorists as makeshift explosive devices. And the authorities were apparently worried
that I might be some nutcase who was getting ready to blow up half the little
town I lived in at that time.

A wall timer is included with every Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator sold (see photo,
left), so customers can set the timer for the requisite three-hour production
time, and leave, not having to worry about being home to shut the generator off
later. The timer makes shut-off
automatic.

So I buy hundreds of these timers at a whack, in order to
fulfill customer orders for the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator.

But you should have seen the disbelieving look on the
investigators face when I tried to explain all of this to him.

I literally had to unpack an entire box full of pre-packaged
Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generators in front of the investigator, and
then set one of them up and run it for him, so he could see the entire process.

Now I’ve been around the military most of my life, because my
dad was a career Marine. I’ve lived on
military bases. And I’ve even worked on
a military base as a young adult. So I’m
quite used to the military way of life.

But believe me, when you have an investigator from the
Office of Naval Intelligence show up at your doorstep demanding to know why
you’re buying electrical apparatuses in bulk, it’s more than just a little bit
unnerving, to say the least.

And even more so afterwards, when you realize that somewhere
in the intelligence community, in some obscure file cabinet, there’s a file
with your name on it, associated with a federal terrorism investigation. Not
fun!

Thankfully, the investigator was a swell guy once he figured
out I was on the up-and-up. He was
fascinated by the concept of the Micro-Particle Colloidal Silver Generator, and
said he’d give the copy of my book to his wife, who was “into alternative medicine.”

And since that time I’ve never had a bit of trouble even
though I’ve had to purchase thousands upon thousands of pieces of electronic
equipment now that the Micro-Particle
Colloidal Silver Generator has become the world’s #1 best-selling colloidal
silver generator.

A Few Helpful Tips on
Traveling

With a Colloidal
Silver Generator…

People email me all of the time asking about travelling with
their colloidal silver generators.

Now I suppose these little machines are most frequently
referred to as “home” colloidal silver generators because that’s where they
belong, i.e., in the home.

But I understand that sometimes when you’re going to be away
from home for an extended period of time, you might want to bring your
generator with you so you can make fresh batches of colloidal silver wherever
you’re visiting.

This is often true, for example, when you might be visiting
out-of-town (or out-of-state) relatives or friends, and you want to show them your
colloidal silver generator in operation, and let them sample some freshly made colloidal
silver.

So my #1 suggestion is that if you’re going to be traveling away
from home for any extended period of time – particularly if you’ve chosen to
travel by air or by any other form of public transportation such as train or
bus -- simply package and mail your
colloidal silver generator to the address you’ll be staying at.

Don’t take it with you on the airplane, train or bus. The baggage inspectors are just too
hyper-vigilant about electronic appliances they’re not familiar with. And the likelihood your colloidal silver generator will
be confiscated for “further investigation” is high.

So send your colloidal silver generator by UPS or FedEx, and
be sure to pay the extra small fee for shipment tracking.

By shipping your generator to your destination via UPS,
FedEx or some other reliable shipping service, you won’t have to worry about
having it confiscated at the airport, bus station or train station if some
lughead TSA wannabe in the baggage inspection department confuses it for a
portable “meth lab” or an explosive device.

And by purchasing the shipment tracking service, you can
keep track of where your package is at at any point in time while you’re traveling. How? Simply
by using your laptop computer or smart phone to log into the website of the
shipping company you’ve chosen, and enter your package’s shipping number into the
tracking system.

The label should identify the machine as a home colloidal
silver generator. And it should include the name of the company that
manufactured it, and plenty of contact information for the manufacturer, such
as the company’s phone number, email address and regular mail address.

After all, shipping companies like UPS and FedEx are now as hyper-vigilant
about package contents as airports,
trains and bus stations are about luggage
contents.

Most shipping packages are now x-rayed as they come down the
conveyor belt before being loaded onto the delivery truck. And suspicious packages are opened and
thoroughly inspected.

So you want to make it as easy as possible for some overzealous
security inspector to see that the electrical apparatus in your package is a safe and benign consumer product, so he won’t
confiscate it or sequester it as something needing further investigation.

That’s
why I also suggest you keep your generator in its original packaging, with
corroborating materials such as the Operating Instructions Guide (see photo,
left), and even the business card of the company you purchased your colloidal
silver generator from.

For example, TheSilverEdge.com includes in the packaging
with every Micro-Particle
Colloidal Silver Generator a printed Operating Instructions Guide, plus
Special Reports on making and using colloidal silver, as well as two business
cards featuring complete contact information for both the Sales Department and
the Tech Support department.

These are the kinds of printed materials that will go a long
way toward identifying your colloidal silver generator as a benign consumer
product should it somehow fall into the hands of an over-vigilant package inspector
during shipping.

Even if you prefer to travel by car, and stay at hotel rooms
with your colloidal silver generator, by following the above-described labeling
and packaging advice you’ll go a long way toward preventing some snoopy hotel
room housekeeper from mistaking your generator for a piece of equipment from a "meth
lab" operation and calling the cops.

However, no matter how well labeled your colloidal silver generator
might be, I certainly don't recommend leaving your hotel room with the machine sitting
out in the open, and running. That’s
likely what happened in the recent hotel incident described at the beginning of
this article.

Obviously, it could turn into an embarrassing situation for
you should a not-so-bright hotel housekeeper enter the room and think you're
brewing up an illegal concoction.

While the medical
authorities continue to brag that hospital-acquired infections are on the
downturn, the truth is these infections are still one of the top 10
causes of death in the United States.

What’s more, experts point
out that the supposed downturn in infection rates is misleading at best,
because many medical facilities aren’t even counted in the statistics.

That leaves it up to you
to protect yourself from hospital-acquired infection when you go into the
hospital or any medical treatment facility, including the dentist’s office,
outpatient surgery centers and more.

Here’s what you can do
to help protect yourself using colloidal silver…

What’s more, the same article tells us that when surgery
wards in seven hospitals took extra precautions against such infections after
colorectal surgery, a grand total of 135 infections were prevented over a
two-and-one-half year period.

Do the Math

The American College of Surgeons claim this supposed
reduction in infections saved almost $4 million!

What does that tell you?
Well, do the math. It tells you
that each hospital-acquired infection costs about $29,629.63 to treat!

And they still
lose more than 90,000 people each and every year to these hospital-acquired infections,
in spite of spending a whopping $29,629.63 apiece to treat the patients who end
up with them!

According to the article, “The average rate of infections
linked with colorectal operations at the seven hospitals dropped from about 16
percent of patients…to almost 11 percent.”

Can you believe it? They’re
actually proud of this, even though
it’s a pittance.

The article goes on to say, “Hospital stays for patients who
got infections dropped from an average of 15 days to 13 days, which helped cut
costs.”

Really?

Does that mean the patients who became infected in the
hospital didn’t take as long to die? Or
does it mean the infections were less severe and took less time to treat? The health authorities don’t say.

Even more revealing is the fact that the #1 strategy at the
hospital for this supposed dramatic decrease in hospital-acquired infections
was simply to get the doctors to wash
their dirty hands more often, and change their gowns and gloves!

Wow. That’s some
high-tech stuff, there.

The hospital apparently even popped for a few extra bucks
and bought “special germ-fighting soap” for patients to wash themselves with
before going into surgery.

How comforting. Well, we can all breathe a sigh of relief, I
suppose, that the hospitals are treating this matter seriously. (Yes, that’s sarcasm, in case you didn’t recognize it.)

Not Good Enough!

But I say that’s simply not
good enough.

After all, according to the U.S. Department of Health &
Human Services’ Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, hospital-acquired
infections are still one of the top
10 causes of death in the entire nation.

What’s more, according to Dr. Glenn D. Braunstein, M.D.,
Chairman of the Department of Medicine, Cedars-Sinai, while a whopping 98,000
Americans die from hospital acquired infections every year…

“…The problem is likely even
greater than official figures suggest because those numbers fail to account
for the millions of patients treated in outpatient surgery centers, community
clinics, nursing homes and other care facilities.”

In other words, they don’t even count the deaths from infections
acquired at non-hospital types of
medical facilities such as outpatient clinics, surgery centers, nursing homes
and more!

So the infection rate is actually suppressed by manipulation
of the data. The dead bodies keep piling
up. And the public is kept largely in
the dark, being led by news headlines to believe the situation is under
control.

But the truth is this:
Every five years nearly 500,000 men, women and children who trusted
their medical providers to give them a safe environment for a hospital
procedure end up dying of hospital-acquired infections!

And those numbers don’t count people who acquired infections
at non-hospital medical facilities and died as a result.

All of these are people with families, friends, careers,
hopes and dreams just like you – all dropping dead because the hospitals can’t
stop the infections that should never have
happened in the first place.

The bottom line is that the rate of hospital-acquired
infections as well as the resulting death toll is outrageous, irresponsible and
completely unacceptable!

And the response of hospitals is basically to tell doctors
to wash their hands more often, and change their gloves and gowns. Why? Because
they don’t’ want to spend the money to institute real policies that might
actually result in an end to
hospital-acquired infections!

In short, they’ve just calculated the physical and financial
toll of the infections (and the resulting deaths) into their bottom line.

Bring Your Own
Colloidal Silver…

I’ve written about hospital-acquired infections in the past,
and why I believe colloidal silver is the answer to stopping them.

And I’ve pointed out that many hospital-acquired infections
are being caused when the drug-resistant pathogens become airborne, and thereby spread like wildfire through the medical
facilities.

This pretty much negates the idea that hospital-acquired
infections can be stopped if the doctor’s would just wash their hands more
often, or change their gloves and gowns.

I’ve also spelled out what hospitals need to do (and what you can do in the home, as well) to help
stop airborne pathogens using colloidal silver.
Indeed, you can see my most recent articles on this subject here
and here.

The bottom line is that if you have to go into a hospital
for a surgical procedure, you simply cannot
count on the hospital staff or medical personnel to keep you safe from
infections and disease.

You have to take matters into your own hands.

And since most doctors won’t use colloidal silver, one thing
you can do is bring your own.

As one reader recently told us:

“When
Dad was in the hospital (for cancer), Mom went over his whole room with colloidal
silver to make sure that staph germs were nowhere.

The
nurses said that Dad’s room was probably the cleanest in the whole hospital
which made them both feel better.

Mom just always keeps a bottle within reach when needed for there are so many
uses for it.”

-- N.O., Oklahoma

Well, that’s exactly
what you have to do. I’ll bet this wise
woman also gave her husband colloidal silver orally each day he was in that hospital, as a prudent precaution. Like this lady:

“About
3 years ago, my husband had triple bypass surgery where he acquired MRSA in all
the incisions on leg, thigh, and chest.

On the other hand, some doctors actually know about colloidal
silver, but have been frightened by all of the negative propaganda from the
FDA. So they vehemently deny its
powerful infection-fighting qualities and its long history of safety.

Indeed, in just a moment, I’ll show you a story about a
woman who came down with MRSA after a dental procedure, and was literally dying
in the hospital.

But when her sister stepped in and began giving her
colloidal silver each day, she began to recover almost immediately.

Then her smug, know-it-all doctor found out about the
colloidal silver supplementation and reacted so negatively, the woman’s husband
stopped the sister from giving her any more colloidal silver.

Of course, the poor woman relapsed and almost died.

Only when her sister stepped back in and began administering
the colloidal silver again – against the doctor’s wishes -- did the woman
recover from the MRSA infection, much to the doctor’s chagrin!

I’ll let you hear that story in the sister’s own words, in
just a minute. But first, here’s a story
in which an experienced colloidal silver user quite literally helped save a doctor’s life after the doctor developed
a deadly hospital-acquired MRSA infection:

“In
November 2009 I was in the morning breakfast hot spot and as usual I was
talking to a friend about his health challenges unaware that a doctor's wife
was listening.

After
my friend left, the doctor's wife asked me if I knew anything that would cure
MRSA. I told her that I made something that should help. She told me that her
husband was a doctor and he had MRSA. I offered to give her some Colloidal
Silver the next day.

When
I arrived at the Nursing Home and met her she was very upset. The doctors
overseeing her husband's case had told her earlier that morning that she needed
to let him go because there was nothing more that they could do for him, and
that they were withdrawing all his medications. He also had a feeding tube.

I
told her that I could not tell her what to do for him, but I could tell her
what I would do for myself if I were in the same situation.

I
gave her a dropper bottle of the colloidal silver and said if it were me I'd
put two droppers of colloidal silver under my tongue every hour as long as I
was awake.

The
next day, and there after, I would do it every two hours while I was awake. If
I had a feeding tube I would apply one tablespoon through the tube three times
a day.

After
four days she called and said that they had retested him for MRSA and he tested
negative. She was one happy lady!

I
think everyone should own a Micro Particle Colloidal Silver Generator so they
can make their own high-quality colloidal silver."

– T.K. Keith, OK

And here’s an account in which a diabetic man who’d been
battling with a potentially deadly MRSA infection for years – and was now on
the most powerful antibiotic drugs the doctors could throw at it, to no avail –
was able to turn his situation around and beat the infection by adding
colloidal silver to his daily treatment regimen.

Quite surprisingly, as you’ll see, this doctor actually approved of his colloidal silver usage
(albeit quietly), and even indicated that he knew the colloidal silver would
work, he just couldn’t prescribe it himself!

“My
husband was on and off doxycycline and daptomycin and several other powerful
antibiotics for the past four years fighting recurring MRSA and other bacteria
including E-Coli.

It
wasn't until we added the micro-particle colloidal silver to the equation that
suddenly he started to get better.

For
the first time in years he tested negative for MRSA in all his tests, INCLUDING
the nasal swab!

When
we told the infectious disease specialist what we had added to his daily mix, I
started out by saying ‘I know you will think it is snake oil but...’

Then
the doctor abruptly stopped me and said ‘Did I ever say to you it was snake
oil? I did not. Because we know it works and we use it sometimes. BUT, we
cannot prescribe it.’”

The
doctor went on to say, ‘I can tell you that if you want to continue doing what
you’re doing every day from now on, you would be fine."

-- N.M, ID

Here’s another astonishing story of a hospital-acquired MRSA
infection that was eradicated after the reader tried colloidal silver:

“A
church member got an infection from surgery at the hospital and it was MRSA.
The Dr. told her she would have to go to the hospital every 2 weeks for a shot
of something.

She
got tired of this after 1 month, and I suggested colloidal silver. She took 1
tsp. and 3 days later, 1 tsp. more.

She
went back to the doctor 1 week later. They took blood and examined it and
called her at work for 2 days later and told her the pathogen was non-existent
in her blood. They repeated they don’t know how it cured up so quickly!”

-- L. L., Merced, CA

These types of stories are not at all unusual. I hear
more and more of them virtually every day.

Here’s the story I promised you about the lady who almost
died in the hospital after acquiring a MRSA infection from a dental procedure:

“Last
year, my sister, Miriam, had extensive dental work done, which caused her to
become infected with MRSA. This led to a heart attack. She was dying.

The antibiotics and other medications being administered by her doctors were
not working and she was getting weaker by the day.

In
desperation, we looked up information on MRSA on the internet, and references
to colloidal silver repeatedly came up, so we looked into that and found your colloidal
silver generators along with
all the information about them.

At the same time, we met a lady who had been using one of your generators for
many years and was very willing to share the colloidal silver and her knowledge
with us until we could order our own generator.

We
felt that God had led us to this information and this lady.

Immediately, we got the colloidal silver to my sister and she began taking it.
Almost at once, her condition improved.

She
was gaining strength until she told her doctor that she was taking colloidal
silver. He reacted so negatively, that my brother-in-law became fearful and
refused to allow my sister to have it.

She
relapsed and became so sick that she couldn't even talk coherently. So weak
that she couldn't eat or take care of herself at all. Again she was
dying.

It was then that my brother-in-law was called away on an emergency. We took
colloidal silver to my sister and within two days, when her husband returned,
she had made such a remarkable recovery that he could not deny the truth.
Colloidal silver, with God's guidance, saved her life.

…I can't thank you enough. I will never be without it again!”

-- W.S. Hill, CA

I love stories
like this.

Had the doctor had his way, this lady would not be alive today to enjoy her kids and
grandkids, friends, neighbors and fellow church members.

Indeed, she’d have been prematurely taken from this earth
because of the utter ignorance of the doctor.

Thank God for the actions of her courageous sister who
wouldn’t cave in to the doctor’s smug ignorance and selfish arrogance!

MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant pathogens are
rampant. Doctors and hospital staff
generally mean well. But they don’t know everything. And they’re often helplessly tied to hospital
policy.

Worse yet, many hospitals are putting on big public
relations programs, making a show of preventing such infections by running
“clean hands” programs and asking doctors to change their gloves and gowns more
often.

But the reality is, unclean hands are not the only
problem. As healthcare consultant Dana
Jacoby has recently pointed out in a GE Healthcare article, “…hospital-acquired
infections are usually a symptom of multiple
problems within the facility.”

And unfortunately, those problems can be expensive to fix
for hospitals with budgets that are often already stretched to the limits.

But thankfully, there are things you can do to
protect yourself in the hospital. And one of those things – perhaps the most important one -- is to bring along
some safe, natural colloidal silver.

Of course, colloidal silver is not a 100% guarantee against hospital-acquired infections. Nothing is.

But it is and
always has been the world’s most powerful natural infection-fighting agent, and
a powerful topical disinfectant, to boot.

And that alone
makes it worth bringing along the next time you have to go into a hospital or
other medical care facility for an in-patient treatment!
